how to deal with depression

[lunaria]

^ hi sis maiandra may effect diba? even my bf who's not depressed but very stressed at work, ganyan din ang ginagawa to manage..swimming naman sa kanya..mas constant & long term ang good vibes effect pag regularly mo talaga ginagawa..mapapansin mo better mood ka na parati..i have to admit, madaming times na tinatamad pa din ako gumalaw galaw. haha..i try to switch things up, since i get easily bored with the same routines everyday..madaming workout vids sa youtube..i'm a big fan of yoga kasi di ko talaga maexplain bakit bongga ang calming effect..
another advice pala, baka nagaapply din sa ibang mga sisses dito, napapansin ko kasi when i'm on a very strict diet, mas madaming moments na puro mood swings/down moments na naman..so hinay hinay lang siguro sa dieting talaga..

@ sis lunaria yes sis, I still can laugh even I'm deeply sad anyways I can't go out alone coz it's kinda dangerous nasa Middle east kasi ako but not in Saudi ha hehe.. I really want to try Kendo sadly my mama dont want, its uselesss daw kaya my exercise here are puro indoors nag babadmenton naman ako every friday kasi kasama ko parents ko  then I always watch DVDs' ayoko yung mga ma-drama I really want comedy para naman maging magaan pakiramdam ko ohh diba??
biruin mo naman sis I have no friends here to rely on, every time we go to gatherings nako puro oldies. haha I can't even enjoy my life walang gala Prisoner ako dito un ang totoo  but You're right I should not be pity to myself.. There are so many reasons to smile  and enjoy life rather than to be sad.

i guess i need professional help na din. i've been in love with a guy for almost 4 years at sobrang di ko na alam gagawin ko, no one could help me. i always cry. kahit manood ako ng sine na nakakatawa ang movie, umiiyak ako.


pag nasa sine ako naaalala ko nung mga times na magkasama kami, even on other places. pag may nakikita akong puting kotse feeling ko baka siya yon, i want to see him. i miss him.


couldn't even tell this to my mom dahil may mga problema din sya at ayaw nya sa guy na yun in the first place.


i don't know if anong klaseng therapist need ko, psychologist or psychiatrist?

Just want to unload it here... please bear with me sisses...

My dad is suffering from depression right now. It all started after niya magkaroon ng malubhang sakit, since super nangayayat siya at nanghina, he can't go to work anymore. Workaholic kasi siya, kaya alam kong super affected siya na nasa house lang siya. Feeling niya useless na siya.. He's anxious and restless all the time, it doesn't help na may insomnia pa siya.. Dependent siya ngayon sa sleeping pills which give him only 4 hours of sleep in a day.

I'm really so sad and affected, baka nga bukas makalawa ako na ang depressed. I'm glad kahit papaano, my mom is still so strong to face all these.... I'm praying na sana malagpasan niya ito....

Hi mga sis, I am really worried about my bf. He has this tendency to be anxious and the feeling that people are talking about him, watching him, wanting to have revenge because of an incident at work in the past. He is not very sociable, ayaw nga niya tumagal sa labas, gusto niya lang lagi sa bahay.. He knows somethings wrong with him and after a few months naging okay siya, bigla nalang ngayon he is acting like crazy at bumalik na naman anxiety attacks niya. Advice naman what professional help does he need?

Hi mga sis.. I find myself going back to this thread again seeking for answers after my BF had a second attack. He left one day, telling me he had to go home because of some problems, he was anxious, in panic, nervous while explaining to me. Akala ko naman there was really a problem in their home.. oh well iyun na nga yon. For a month now, we did not see each other, we did not talk until just this week, he already had a check up and was diagnosed daw with Psychosis, ang meds na iniinom niya is Risdin. He is harmless naman (pero I don't know what he can do)..

I spoke to his brother he told me he needed to have enough rest, sleep.. kasama na rin ang positive environment, no pressures and support of family, may kausap at kasama siya lagi. So he seems okay now and we're both talking.

We are both 28 and I don't know if I can still live with this, I am a single mom, anak ko napalapit na rin sa kanya.. paano kung someday we end up together (eventually parang kame na nga)? Instead of helping me, he might be a burden pa (sorry that's the truth). I feel he doesn't have a goal in life, a career - he is unstable, how can he help me support our family. I am so disappointed in him that I just wanted to give up. I know that our constant communication helps him a lot in his fast recovery, isa ako sa rason na nagpapasaya sa kanya.. pero hay ewan ko I need to think of what's best for my son and me.

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

I think you know what to do...I can understand how difficult your situation is, sorry you're going through this.

[oracLe]

Be physically active. Pray, talk to God. Talk to people whom you know can give you sound advice, or people you know you can trust.

Thanks sis meimei and xthine!

We're not married, bf palang..

Well it's sad that I should really end the relationship. I was hoping I can build a family with him, I feel so "malas" hayz.. sorry for the term. We communicate everyday, haven't seen each other yet.. I don't feel the I Love You's anymore. I was frank with him, asking him what his plans are for us.. Hay.. nakaka-disappoint lalo (even if he really doeas have a plan, wala kaseng action). I feel guilty, pine-pressure ko pa lalo kase naiinis na rin ako.. he is still calm and sweet.. Mabuti my son is with me para hindi rin ako depressed with my situation.. (feeling ko I'll be ending up a single mom for good)

Thanks mga sis.

pa join mga sis.. i have an anxiety disorder. i was diagnosed when i was still in college. my doctor prescribed me an anti-anxiolytic meds. grabe ang anxiety/panic attacks ko before. yung bigla ka nalang gigising na hindi mo maintihan yung mararamdaman mo na hindi mo alam yung gagawin mo.biglang matatakot ka na walang rason...mahirap talaga..

[HoldingOn]

joining.... i haven't consulted any professional help yet, but i'm seriously considering to do so.

these past few weeks, i've noticed changes in my behavior (self-mirroring lang ito). are these signs of depression?

- i'm always scared that people i love will leave me. hindi lang sila mag reply sa text or mag answer sa calls ko, or mawalan lang sila ng konting time sa akin (even if their reasons are valid), i start to palpitate, have difficulty in breathing, then, nanginginig na muscles ko, and nangangalay yung nape and upper back ko.
- i always want people around me. natatakot ako lagi na mag isa.
- i cry alone, usually at night, before going to bed. what triggers it: i feel so frustrated with myself and with whats going on in my life. i also have a lot of resentments.
- i don't feel hungry the whole day. i can live on water alone. but, once i eat, usually at night, i cannot control the quantity of my food intake. as in super dami, mga 2-3 cups of rice!
- i always feel tired (and pressured) of being someone better. i always feel the need to show people that i am strong, i am courageous, i am positive.
- i find it too difficult to sleep at night, usually until early morning gising ako.
- pimple-breakout.

My dad is seeing Dr. Mary Yutiao - a Psychiatrist at Chinese gen. hospital. Sana gumaling na siya at ma-overcome ang depression and insomnia niya...

^^thanks for your post sis. Marami nga akong tick marks sa post mo.

[xylene]

Hi mga sis, i just want to know if anong range ng pf ng mga psychiatrists?

I am aware that i am suffering from depression. Yung mga common symptoms ay meron ako.

Natatakot ako magsuicide kaya may times na i just ask Him not to wake me up when i sleep.


I need help.
Thank you.

di ko alam kung depressed ako.. wala kasi akong work ngayon tapos medyo nahihirapan ako maghanap ng gusto kong work.. malakas naman ako kumain, kaya eto medyo tumaba ako. nagiging makakalimutin ako, tapos late na ko makatulog tapos late na rin ako magising. nawawalan na ako ng gana maghanap ng work kasi lagi na lang hindi nagiging successful. bumaba self esteem ko. hindi na ako nakikipag contact sa mga friends ko at officemates, ayoko rin lumabas with them kasi wala akong pera saka ayokong malaman nila na wala akong work. hindi nga ako excited sa pasko kasi wala akong pera. hays.

[airish_2]

what i did is nagprint ako ng mga positive thoughts tapos everyday binabasa ko para mainspire.

I feel for you, and I applaud you for being faithful considering your circumstances.  I don't have a right to be depressed, but I am.  And I kind of want to drink medication again, are the doctors in the christian ministry certified?

Taking medications before helped me a lot in controlling my emotions.

[fall2pieces]

thanks sis meimei.. at least meron din palang nakakarelate sa situation ko.. sana makahanap na tayo ng work. di ko inexpect na aabutin ako ng Dec na jobless ako. akala ko madali lang maghanap. gusto ko na rin kasi makatulong sa bahay saka maging proud na din ako ulit sa sarili ko. ngayon kasi down talaga yung confidence ko. pero hindi naman ako sumusuko sa pagdarasal, i know God will make a way..

im suffering from depression and anxiety din, it started last september when i quit my previous job due to a lot of stress which resulted to depression and anxiety, and dami kong worries, na hindi nako makakahanap ulit ng work, ang hirap kasi pag may kasamang anxiety, i fear na baka mabaliw ako lalo na pag sa public place, baka mag faint dahil nagkaron na din ako ng panic attacks, iniisip ko pano ako makakapag hanap ng trabaho kung ganito ko walang energy, lagi may headache, severe anxiety, it feels like im at the end of the rope, drowning, sinking, im having suicidal thoughts na din hindi ko matanggap na mangyayari to sakin, ive consulted a psychiatrist and only gave me meds, but the side effects are worst, dun   nag umpisa yung suicidal thoughts dahil sa side effects sobrang lalo ako naging anxious and nagka insomnia pa, so i stopped the meds then naging ok ako for a short time, but sucidal thoughts na naman, ang hirap sobra, family ko and si God ang nagpapalakas ng loob ko, hindi ko kaya iwan ang family ko

[gripfast]

I think I am depressed. Na-trauma ako sa ginawa ng daddy ng son ko sa akin. I feel like i can never trust again tapos wala akong gana kumain lately. i wanted to see a doctor na din. sobrang hirap pala pag ganito.
